Terrific day two follow-up to Great Wall tour - There’s a lot a variety on this tour to keep things fresh and interesting. The pandas were quite active in the morning and are as cute as everyone says. Never seen anything work so hard at napping. Of all the historical sights we’ve seen in Beijing the Lama Temple is my favorite. While not as grand as the Forbidden City it had much more detail and you could access the interior of the five temples. Lunch was at a hutong neighborhood restaurant and it was the best meal of our entire trip. Our guide, Lucy, was a fountain of knowledge and taught us a ton about both the history of the sites and the traditions of the Buddhist faith. She even had recommendations for shopping areas to hit on our own the following day.

We are very happy with Lucy - We were thrilled to reserve Lucy for another guided full-day tour in Beijing. We visited the Pandas, the Summer Palace, had a Beijing lunch in Hutong, went to the Lama Temple. However, we had to make a last-minute change due to accessibility issues for one of our original activities. Despite this, Lucy was incredibly accommodating and quickly found a solution. Lucy’s extensive experience and knowledge as a tour guide allowed her to suggest several optional activities that salvaged the trip. She handled the inconvenience with grace and didn’t make us feel uncomfortable about the changes we had to make. Lucy’s primary concern was our safety and happiness, which is evident in her attentive care and thoughtful suggestions.

Our private tour took us to some of the most iconic sights of this beautiful and ancient city including one of the best meals we’ve had on this trip. Lucy filled our day with an incredible historical and cultural experience of the past and present day China. Plus- who can resist the cuddly pandas? You won’t want to miss this !

Excellent tour - My tour guide, Summer. She’s hands - down the best! Right from the get - go, she made this trip unforgettable. We’ve been to iconic landmarks like the Forbidden City and temple of heaven. What blows my mind is her knowledge. She’s not just rattling off facts—she’s bringing history to life. For instance, when we were at the Temple of Heaven, she told these crazy stories about ancient ceremonies. And her English—clear as a bell! The cherry on top? The weather today’s been on point. The city’s blooming with colorful flowers. I’m strolling around, breathing in the fresh air, and thinking, “This is what traveling’s all about.”

Beijing Flexible tour - Lily was recommended by a friend and the contact was smooth and easy, prices are reasonable. We requested for transport services for few days such as from airport to hotel and vice versa. Also added 2 days of sightseeing trip for transport only. On the day trip with Yang Li Guo shifu, he brought us to Summer Palace and Temple heaven. During the car ride, he shared a lot of information about Beijing, the signature buildings, brought us to have a look at the top 2 universities in Beijing, followed by a great lunch place that serves very local beijing food which was delicious, servings were huge yet very good prices. Our 2 little kids love Yang shifu as he talked a lot to them and they enjoyed his company. Overall a great experience with Lily, highly recommend anyone that is coming to Beijing to use her services.

Best tour guide ever! - Maggie is "THE BEST". Her attention to details was amazing. She provided knowledgeable historical information at each sight with detail. Very personable, friendly, courteous and FUN. We could not have gotten a better tour guide and her driver was a safe driver and great fun.He even aught us a bit of Chinese! The lunch provided was authentic and absolutely delicious. Wish we booked her for all of our tours. You will not be disappointed with Maggie.

A day of wonder and friendship in Beijing! - What an experience discovering Beijing from Lucy’s hand! We had a great time discovering the city’s temples and palaces as well as learning about China’s history from a local perspective, Our tour guide was eager to answer all our questions, and was very patient as I took so many pictures at each location. During the tour we were able to sample the local dishes, and Lucy took care to take us to the restaurants where local’s dine. The food was top notch! At the end of the day I had the feeling that Lucy was a great friend more than a tour guide.

Great - We thank Lucy for a such lovely and well organized excursion. Three beautiful places of Beijing are worth to see but with Lucy it will be converted into a historical adventure across China.
